+1 — These all sound heavy and unappealing for a summer dinner party.  Also, a bit old-fashioned — like “Continental Cuisine”.  Maybe you’re going for a retro feel?[/quote]
That's exactly what I thought when I saw this list.  These dishes are all so winter-y!

How about instead of:

Prime Rib + Truffled Mashed Potatoes - Grilled rib-eyes (or lamb chops) with chimichurri + greek lemon potatoes

Pomegranate Short Ribs with Marscapone Polenta - Braised lamb shanks with eggplant or greenbeans

Crab Legs and Tarragon Butter and Garlic Broccolini - Whole grilled or roast fish + broccolini

Traditional Bolognese Lasagna with Bechamel -  Pasta with lemon and crab

I also wouldn't "start" with a salad, I would serve the salad alongside the main meal.  A dinner party should feel more homey than dinner at a fusty hotel.[/quote]

2nd weekend in October 
All of them are recipes I have mastered that’s why they are somewhat traditional. I don’t like to make things I haven’t done before for other people! [/quote]

I like all hte alternatives PP has posted here, and, if the party is in October, you've got plenty of time to try these recipes out.  My favorite would be braised lamb shanks  -- with green beans or Brussels sprouts.   [/quote]
